The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle
Chapter 482 - 300: Land of Extreme Evil Invitation Conference!_2

The Fire Dragon turned out to be quite gullible. I wonder if the Dragon Race is all so naive and innocent.

Su Qi and Long Xun were heading home, moving toward the meeting point they had previously agreed upon.

Meanwhile,

Su Qi grew more certain of the hidden presence... lurking in the mass of people, stealthily, from afar, following them.

Their target was Long Xun.

Long Xun was oblivious to this.

Before the unknown enemy revealed themselves, Su Qi didn't plan to take action. In this special place, he had to temporarily become an invisible person since it was closely related to the "Despicable Person" and even more intertwined with the "Evil God."

Su Qi preferred to take things slowly before gaining enough of an advantage.

Shortly after,

They arrived at the gathering spot where everyone else was already waiting for them, not a single person missing.

"We've probed... a lot of information," Du En couldn't wait to present the gathered information to his own people.

"The Dark Zone appears as a spherical Abyss, which means it can be entered from all directions, some paths more dangerous than others, some relatively calm."

Bai Yilin pointed in a distant direction, "The safest is this area managed by Seven Commerce; although the region inside is less challenging, most valuable items have been thoroughly fought over and taken by many, but it's suitable for newcomers to this place."

"Understood."

They were exchanging information, which was very valuable; knowing how to act in the Land of Extreme Evil, how to enter the Dark Zone and seize their own opportunities.

Jiang Zhi paused, "What about you, Su Buxian? Did you discover any new information?"

Su Qi paused briefly before responding, "I found out that six kilometers from here, there's an Otherworld restaurant... where you can order dishes from various worlds, and the prices are quite good."

"....."

The rest cast their gaze silently towards Su Qi.

Massaging his forehead, Jiang Zhi said, "As the Sect Hierarch, could you focus on something substantial? My confidence in our impoverished, understaffed sect just dropped again."

"No worries, there's still room for it to drop."

"?"

Jiang Zhi was almost tempted to leave the sect, wondering if he could get his Spirit Coins back.

He sighed, "Besides, I have another piece of news. The Land of Extreme Evil seems to be hosting a grand conference soon... it looks like many top-tier forces will be gathering and attending."

"The timing, it seems, is in the next week or two."

Su Qi mused, "A grand conference, huh? Since we, The Hustlers Sect, are also a top-tier force, should we attend?"

"...."

Jiang Zhi so wanted to hit someone, his head aching, "How could you even say that? We don't even have the right to watch from a distance!"

Clapping his hands, Su Qi interrupted, "Alright, that's not important. We already have a good understanding of the situation, let's prepare and start our mission."

Jiang Zhi pondered over what sort of trap he had fallen into. But he didn't complain any further.

After all,

They hadn't truly entered the Dark Zone yet, and their ultimate goal lay there.

At this moment,

Du En's expression faltered briefly, "Let's not rush. We plan to first take some people back to our world."

Su Qi nodded, understanding their motives and intentions:

"Alright, go ahead. We'll split up for now."

Their true mission wasn't to seek opportunities in the Dark Zone, but to search for the Guardian God's coordinates.

And with this trip, Du En and the others had their own plans and didn't want to hold Su Qi and his group back.

Du En hurriedly left with his people.

Long Xun paused, then looked at Su Qi, Bai Yilin, and Jiang Zhi, "And you?"

"We'll naturally team up with Brother Long and venture into the Dark Zone for an eye-opening experience," Su Qi said with a smile.

Long Xun nodded, "Let's go."

In his eyes, numbers were not the key; after all, based on his experience, anything could happen in the Dark Zone, where having too many people might become a significant disadvantage.

Furthermore,

He didn't have time to wait; he too had an urgent need to enter the Dark Zone.

"Let's move."

Long Xun led Su Qi and the others toward the direction of the Dark Zone.

During this journey.

Bai Yilin communicated with Su Qi using Spiritual Energy.

"Brother Su, I've probed the situation, other players have been in here for nearly a week now, but because of the energy outburst in the Dark Zone, their progress isn't that fast. It's just that they made earlier contact with the forces within the Land of Extreme Evil."

"And some clubs have intricate relationships with many powerful forces."

He and Jiang Zhi's main direction of investigation was, naturally, the other players' progress on the Paradise side.

Jiang Zhi paused, "I tried to contact the brothers from the Meteor Alliance, but... I don't know if it's because of this place or something else, I can't reach the brothers for the time being."

Su Qi nodded.

"Don't worry, take it slow. Let's go take a look at what this Dark Zone is really like."

The four of them acted together.

They were getting close... to the edge of the Dark Zone.

"Is this the entrance to get in?" Jiang Zhi muttered as he looked at the churning ripples before him, the entire Sky Dome seemed to crash into the ground, all turned into a boiling ripple, completely different from the kind he had seen before.

Too crazed, chaotic!

"Doesn't it feel a bit like a special place from the trials?" Bai Yilin said softly.

Jiang Zhi nodded eagerly, "Right, I knew it looked familiar."

"That means..." Su Qi's eyes glossed over, "there are countless space cracks and torrents here."

"And."

Looking around, Su Qi saw loads of question marks.

And a phrase recurring in great abundance...

[Old Fragments]

Which meant...

The Land of Extreme Evil was made up of a large number of present world spaces and Space Fragments that had been drawn here.

So, this Dark Zone.

Was... made up of countless ancient Space Fragments, no wonder so many people were drawn to it, even many ancient races and descendants had appeared here.

"So, the question is now."

Su Qi touched his chin, recalling, "I remember the first time I went to that world, it was a warm, peaceful town bathed in bright sunshine. How did it become like this?"

"Did the power of the Evil God cause such a phenomenon?"

"Or is everything here intentionally gathered?"

Various questions arose in Su Qi's mind, causing his right eye—his Spiritual Eyes—to twitch slightly. Su Qi decided not to ponder any further.

This kind of twitching was normal.

It happened from time to time, signifying that the power of the Evil God within the Spiritual Eyes was stirring. When it wanted to burst forth, one would have to use the [World Tree Withered Leaf] to suppress it. When it couldn't be suppressed anymore...

He would explode with it.

"Let's go."

Long Xun, with his ample experience, said, "We must step into the same ripple to enter together, otherwise we will be separated."

"Also, we might encounter others, remember to be careful."

"Understood."

The four of them stepped into the same ripple.

And just as the four of them entered.

Several figures flashed like streaks of light, turning into afterimages, and in less than a moment... followed in as well!

In the distant rear, black shadows were slowly emerging, seemingly reporting something.

"The target has entered."

And from that side came an indifferent voice:

"Contact the others in the Dark Zone, and join forces to encircle them."

"Don't let him escape this time!"

"We must, we must get his secrets!"

"Yes, my lord!"

And the one referred to as lord was standing at that moment... in the grand central area, surrounded by subordinates full of excellent equipment and strong presence.

People around kept their distance, buzzing with discussion.

"They are... from the Star Raider Organization."

"They have extraordinary beings backing them, a terrifyingly powerful bandit organization."

"Indeed, they were invited to attend the Land of Extreme Evil convention."

"Yes, but this time, all who can enter are invited by the big powers; the Star Raider Organization and some renowned forces are just on the fringe."

"Just wait, once the convention starts, who knows what changes it will bring to the current state."
